Despite the renewed Sassuolo interest, Inter striker Andrea Pinamonti is on the verge of joining Salernitana, which could block Krzysztof Piatek and Neal Maupay.
Salernitana made no secret of their desire to completely revamp the front line after narrowly escaping relegation last season.
Under new President Danilo Iervolino, they are determined to pack the squad with quality this term for coach Davide Nicola.
Federico Bonazzoli is already on his way back from Sampdoria after an initial loan spell.
There is one more place to fill and it would appear to be going to Pinamonti, as Sky Sport Italia, Sportitalia and more all report a deal is close for €20m.
Inter will retain a buy-back option on the centre-forward at circa €30m, something Sassuolo and Monza were not prepared to give.
That would mean Salernitana cutting short their negotiations for other targets, such as Brighton and Hove Albion striker Maupay and Piatek of Hertha Berlin.
Salernitana have that kind of money? Did they sell anyone?
They must be using all the money from selling Ederson to Atalanta to fund the Pinamonti deal.
Salerno is a big city, they should have no problems filling the stadium
